4QT
Zero-emission construction machines and commercial vehicles can operate for a full working day without recharging, thereby make an important contribution to climate-neutral construction.
Agrosustain
Natural fungicides protect fruits and vegetables from mold already in the field. With a natural coating, the shelf life of the crop is extended by over 20 days.
aiendoscopic
AI and robotics are used to simplify complex endoscopic processes. The first application is a device for safe tracheal intubation.
Bloom
Chemicals and fuels based on cellulose and lignin offer excellent mechanical properties yet are biodegradable and recyclable.
Composite Recycling
A pyrolysis process makes it possible to dissolve the fibers from the resin of composite materials (e.g., boat hulls and wind turbine rotor blades) so that the material can be reused.
Deep Breath Intelligence
Diseases can be diagnosed early by analyzing exhaled air using machine learning algorithms.
DeepJudge
An AI-powered legal-tech software to find, analyze and link relevant information in large in-house databases with legal documents.
DePoly
PET plastics can be recycled with simple chemicals and technologies without having to be presorted or separated from other plastics.
Flowbone
Osteoporosis patients benefit from bone micro-architecture strengthening using an injectable gel that rapidly transforms into viable bone.
Muvon Therapeutics
Injection of specifically propagated muscle precursor cells generates new skeletal muscle tissue, for example in the treatment of incontinence.
Readily 3D
Volumetric 3D printing creates objects with complex organic shapes in seconds for regenerative and personalized medicine.
Synthara
In-memory computing solutions integrated into chips accelerate applications in IoT, wearables and extended reality.
